Widget that just makes an adjustable opaque black box... - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone, I was wondering if such a widget exists that essentially creates an adjustable black box that you can send behind widgets (send to back).
I use an old widget called "Advanced Clock Widget" that lets you hide the clock and data, essentially doing the same thing... but that's all I use it for.
Like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These are different widgets with transparent backgrounds and this helps create a uniform look.

(in case the picture isnt showing for some reason)

Maybe you can use KLWP (Kustom Live Wallpaper) app for this purpose. It also has a Widget version.
It basically allows you to create customized live wallpapers and widgets.

thanks ill give it a shot

i was browsing thru the win mobile 7 section in this forum and found these really cool concept.. hope someone can make widgets like those... anyone wanna try developing these widgets and apps ?
Widgets request :
1. Simple Clock widget (top right of screenshot)
2.Square Weather widget
3.Calls (miss call count) widget
4.Message (unread msg count) widget
5.Square Music control widget
6.Frameless Photo widget (like the boy & girl smiling in the screenshot)
This would be the best theme of any kind !!!!
Beautyfull concept! if I knew anything about programming I would do it myself...
Download SweeterHome 2 and give it a whirl. It's the only home replacement I know of that could accomplish something very like this.

Weather and Toggle Widgets vs Beautiful Widgets

So, I've had Weather and Toggle widgets for ages...since I got my phone about a month after Launch (Epic 4g). I paid like 99c for it, so no worries there. I've lately been using minimalistic text for the time/bat stat stuff and w&tw for the weather & toggles. After search around in the market and xda I see tons of peeps using BW. I see a few themes that I like in screen caps and such but am not entirely sure if I want to switch or not... (As once I use something it's rare I switch)
So am looking for opinions on the two, the who/what/where/when etc etc

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So there's the current homescreen (am running stock unrooted epic, despite homescreen)
Epic is as Epic does

[Q] UCCW and the widget bounding box

Hope I'm in the right place!
I kicked off my first UCCW project with a very simple task – a widget to display the next alarm time on the screen. As you can see from the graphic below its nothing fancy, no icons, just a hotspot to open the clock app when tapped.
The problem I have is illustrated by the bounding box around the widget when placed on the screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The UCCW format I selected from the menu of available widgets was "UCCW 2x1". The 1×1 made the text too small. Obviously the bounding box is far too deep. But at that size no other desktop icons can be placed immediately below that widget,.and I can't resize the bounding box.
Clearly I'm missing something here as other UCCW projects I have looked at by other people don't seem to have this problem.
Advice most welcome.
No one ????
If there is a better place to seek UCCW questions please advise.
Thanx.

Nova Launcher Prime, KWLP (live wallpaper), Nucleo UI (icons), Power Toggles (toggle widget).
Things would look much better rooted. I want to get rid of the softkeys, including the space it takes; I can hide, but Nova will not use the space. Also rooted I can change density per-app. I also want to learn KWLP to make my wallpaper as I want.
My current one:
... XDA decides to automatically rehost this with less colors and dithering :|
